    BLT on sourdough toast with sweet potato fries. That plate was empty in about 2 minutes.
    Elizabeth S.

    First time to Jimmy's and really enjoyed my lunch, as did everyone in my group! I had a BLT -- the bacon was cooked PERFECTLY for a sandwich, and the L and T were fresh (tell me you're in California without telling me you're in California...). Another person had a veggie omelet, a person who was way over 12 got the under 12 breakfast (bacon, eggs, French toast -- just a smaller portion of each). In the lunch category, one friend got the veggie burger and another got the club sandwich. Everyone was happy with what they ordered! A couple of tips: Order some onion rings. They're super thin, not greasy at all, and just delicious! Also, if you order french fries, order them on the well done side. I had sweet potato fries with my sandwich, and I'd suggest regular fries the next time. Not that the sweet fries weren't good, I just thought the regular ones were better! Lovely server who tag teamed with the owner on our service. We were glad we went on the slightly earlier side, because within about 20 minutes the place filled up! There's a bar and two televisions on the wall for folks who like to come watch sports. I don't usually like that in a bar or restaurant, but it's olympics season and it was really fun to be watching some of that with a group. Look forward to going back next time I'm in Windsor!

    Only omelette has chunks of jalapeños

    Overcooked, poor timing, very disappointing. We had reservations for 13 (including toddler and infant) on Mother's Day- with 4 generations of moms (grandma is 101). We've used this location in the past multiple times for gatherings due to convince when it was Charlie's. We had the small banquet room reserved - and we were shocked that on Mother's Day there were no table clothes. We ate on industrial plastic covered tables. No flowers - nothing. I believe our waitress was covering our party as well as others but not sure. Menu was simple breakfast options - omelet, eggs Benedict, chilaquiles... nothing crazy. Given the holiday we visited while waiting to order and get settled- which was quite some time. This doesn't affect the rating as we understand the demands of the day. When our food finally arrived the first people served - my brother in law, niece's boyfriend and cousin - none of which sat next to one another. Mothers should've been served first or at the very least my 101yr old grandmother- who was the LAST to be served. I ordered eggs Benedict- potato's over cooker, egg was solid / overcooked, muffin not cooked and the ham slices were cold and dry. It took great effort to cut with a butter knife - I had to pick up. It was not pleasant. My mother had the same and felt the same, sister had the Florentine Benedict and her eggs overcooked and potato's dry and over cooked. My mother in law ordered the only omelette (house) which had jalapeño s that were in big chunks she began pulling them out as it was unpleasant to eat chunks of jalapeños. She said her omelette was ok but only ate half and left her potato's. The photo posted is her finished plate My grandma ordered two eggs over easy which were also hard she got a stip of bacon and one sausage- she said her potato's were overcooked as well as her egg which was hard . $700 bill with over half the room having iced tea,/ non alcoholic beverages. I hope the owner reads this and makes changes- holidays/ special occasions should have linens at the very least. The guests of honor should be served first and acknowledged first. I can understand that one order of eggs Benedict is improperly cooked but ALL orders of eggs were overcooked. With such a limited "special" menu which seemed pretty normal- one would think the kitchen staff would be able to execute it properly. As mentioned we've used this location in the past for family events - 25-50 people depending on occasion. Such as let down on Mother's Day.

    Bloody Mary!

    The food was great! Bloody Mary's are delicious by the lakeside. Fun to eat on the patio on a nice day. Our server was quite attentive and I highly recommend their calamari appetizer too!

    View from the patio is beautiful!

    OOPS! So I've been golfing at Windsor Golf Club for over 40 years (damn I'm old!) and Charlie's restaurant has been a mainstay. Never "great" food but passable, and the ambience quite nice, bordering on upscale. Enter the new owner, name, and TERRIBLE remodeling. I can't really give a complete review of the food due to a small sample size, but the fresh, hand cut fries were soggy and limp. Yes I requested extra crispy, hence my disappointment. The potential was there from a flavor standpoint, but a miss on the fry time. I had the Adult grilled cheese with ham and it was maybe slightly above average, but the amount of ham was sad, maybe 2 or 3 ounces. The bright note on the food were the salads. They were fresh and the two dressings we had were solid. The service was excellent, so thank you, Emily. She was friendly, efficient and checked in with us on a timely fashion. Ok, now here's more detail on the OOPs! Fire your architect!!! What was once a classy(ish) restaurant, turned into a bland, blank, sports bar vibe with literally NO texture. Kind of had the feeling of a high school cafeteria! Perhaps some big plants, or vibrant colored table cloths would help, but man, what a complete miss! Oh, and the acoustics were a nightmare, with three loud men at the bar drowning out the entire restaurant. I will continue to go and support the cause as it's a tradition, but I will stick with the lovely outside patio, and give the occasional golf clap to the people hitting off the adjacent 10th tee. I wish you luck, Jimmy Cheers, Jim

    Used to be Charlie's grill? Place was very clean and very new. Only opened for a couple weeks. Service was great but again, "New" and you could tell by the lack of preparedness and some things they were out of on the menu. We still enjoyed the homemade clam chowder and salad were very delicious. Hope this place has great success because it is very convenient for after a round of golf or even staying across the street at Whyndam.

    Bar looks great.

    We were visiting Windsor for the Labor Day weekend. We had lunch at Russian River Brewing and…read morereally enjoyed it! We had the Pub Sandwich, and it was delicious. The slaw was creamy and flavorful, and the bread was amazing, toasted with the perfect crunch. We also had the mac and cheese, which was super creamy and definitely hit the spot. Of course, you can't go to Russian River Brewing without having a beer, and that didn't disappoint either! The service was upbeat, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. I also really liked the newer Windsor location. It's spacious, clean, and has a great atmosphere. Good food, good beer, and great service. We'll definitely be back!

    Woah! How does this only have a 3.8 rating!?…read more Hubs and I had the most wonderful experience here in July 2026. Beautiful location, friendly staff, great beer and delicious food! This place is HUGE! So much seating everywhere!! My only complaint is that we asked for a great view that the hostess liked and she should have warned us she was seating us in the dog friendly patio area. After we had already ordered, some woman had her dog literally laying on top of the table. So that was disgusting. Their whole table was extremely loud and annoying. Other than that, it was a beautiful area. Now on to the food and beer. We ordered a couple beers, what a great price for most! They were ice cold and delicious! For the first appetizer we ordered the riblets (I wish there had been more), they were very tasty. Next we ordered the grilled artichoke- make sure you order this!! What a flavor explosion! So so good. I only wish our two appetizers were warmer, but we didn't let that stop us from devouring them. Then we shared the Russian River cheesesteak and upgraded to the Pliny fries - you must do this! A delicious white cheese fondue on top of fries with jalapeños and Parmesan on top, then dip your sammich in the cheese fondue. Yum yum yummmm! The cheesesteak was very tasty!! Carlos was our server and was very attentive and friendly. We really enjoyed our time here. You can't eat outside but you can take drinks in metal cups to enjoy the scenery out back. Kid friendly.
